Chickweed Herb, Cut & Sifted 1 lb
100% organic chickweed (Stellaria media), carefully cut and sifted for traditional and modern herbal preparations. Chickweed offers a soft, grassy, mildly sweet flavor with light, cooling green undertones and a gentle, soothing herbal finish. Known for its versatility, it’s commonly used in infusions, salves, poultices, oils, and wellness formulations.
🌿 Traditional medicinal usage
Chickweed has been used for centuries across multiple herbal traditions:
-
European folk herbalism: brewed as a cooling spring herb to support skin irritation, itching, minor wounds, rashes, and seasonal detox support.
-
Western traditional apothecaries: infused into oils and salves for dry, inflamed, or irritated skin, insect bites, burns, and eczema-style discomfort.
-
Indigenous and global folk traditions: applied as a poultice or infusion to support swelling, skin repair, circulation, and lymphatic movement.
-
Traditional herbal baths and compresses: used to calm the skin, reduce redness, cool inflammation, and support wound comfort.
Historically, chickweed was considered a gentle “green healer” herb, often used fresh or slow-brewed to draw out its soothing properties for both topical and internal support.
✨ Modern uses and benefits
Today, chickweed remains a favorite in modern herbalism for:
-
Topical skin support: creams, balms, and oils for itching, dryness, redness, acne-associated irritation, minor burns, and inflamed skin comfort
-
Lymphatic and cleansing blends: added to seasonal wellness formulations to support detox pathways without overstimulation
-
Digestive and soothing infusions: used for occasional stomach upset, bloating, and gut inflammation support
-
Weight-management herbal add-ins: valued for its low-calorie nutrient density and inclusion in green wellness drinks
-
Allergy-season wellness support: commonly paired in modern hay fever and seasonal comfort blends
-
DIY apothecary prep: tinctures, capsules, oil infusions, and compress formulations
Modern wellness creators also blend chickweed with plant enzymes and phytonutrient-rich greens for added cellular nourishment and skin-calming support.
